Races to Support
Form handed out asking which races the Striders should continue to support next year:
- Meanwood Trail / Pulse Race / Harewood Stately Home 10K / Harewood 10 mile.

Meanwood Trail Race raised around £1,000 for Lineham Farm.
Harewood 10 raised around £4,000 - also went to Lineham Farm.

Should we consider another charity to benefit from Meanwood Trail next year?
- Wheatfields, Local Air Ambulance and Candlelighters were suggested.

Junior Members
Need to decide whether to register them with NoEAA if it is free.

Ladies’ Vests
Long discussion here considering other suppliers to replace the Complete Runner (poor quality/fit).
Investigations to continue!
